I am a long time user of Garmins. My Forerunner 35 lasted over 10 years. The 55 model is the upgraded replacement. An easy to use GPS watch, pretty much basic, but exactly what I wanted/needed.
You barely need the manual, everything works just like before. I had it set up within 5 minutes.
The use is very intuitive.
Looking for a basic GPS watch to register your runs? Yhis is a great option.

Excellent fitness watch. Very good to track your steps, heart rate, runs, and sleep. It's durable and I Like how it always alerts me when I get a message. The system is easy to use and the app is user friendly. Also, the battery life is amazing.

The family has an older version of this with not as many features. We bought this for one member and it's great for monitoring workouts and also linking to the phone to at least see messages. The Thanksgiving time price was an amazing deal as well.

Solid watch. Everything I need and able to get out and run. I am not an advance level runner but this really performs well. I am coming from an apple watch and battery life is way more efficient. I run everyday and battery lasts me at least 4 days and it charges relatively fast I'm charging on my commute to work in the car which is about 30 minutes but NOT everyday. Sleep tracking is spotty usually 20 minutes off but not really a huge complaint. Also very comfortable I wear this 24/7 (excludng charge time) washes easy and I forget its on my wrist.

Ive had this watch for awhile now and had tested it through a lap swim multiple times. I have no regret and any complaints really- its a good watch for the price ! f you're looking for somewhat simpler this might not be yours but if you want something thats advance and can do a lot, this is a good budget option!

I bought this watch as a starter watch for my eighth grade son who is in cross country. The watch has been very good for him to track his pace, time heart rate, and all the things that his coach is asking him to keep track. On top of the tracking purposes and also has a coaching program that can set workouts for him to achieve goals which he has used to increase his per mile time. Overall, I am super satisfied with this watch and think that it is a great purchase for anybody looking to track their running efforts.

Good overall product, is able to track majority of fitness goals of an average person. With many different options for more intense physical goals as well. While it can do a lot, there are some limitations. Running in closed loop tracks will throw off the gps tracking system, as well as the heart rate tracker has been off a few times. Overall it is a decent watch for a reasonable price
